列王紀上 16
1 那時，有上主的話傳於哈納尼的兒子耶胡，斥責巴厄沙說：「
The word of Yahweh came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2 我由塵埃中提拔了你，立你做我民以色列的領袖，你卻走了雅洛貝罕的路，使我民以色列犯罪，激怒我；
“Although I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, so as to provoke me to anger with their sins.
3 我現在，我要掃除巴厄沙和他的家族，使他的家如同乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕的一家一樣：
See, I will completely sweep away Baasha and his family and I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
4 凡屬巴厄沙家的人，死在城中的，必為狗吞食，死在田野間的，必為空中的飛鳥啄食。」
The dogs will eat anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the fields.”
5 巴厄沙其餘的事蹟，他所行的事和他的功績，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
As for the other matters concerning Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
6 巴厄沙與列祖同眠，葬在提爾匝；他的兒子厄拉繼位為王。
Baasha slept with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king in his place.
7 上主藉哈納尼的兒子，先知耶胡傳話斥責巴厄沙和他的家族，是因為他行了許多上主眼中視為惡的事，以自己的作為激怒了上主，如同雅洛貝罕的家一樣；又因為他殺了雅洛貝罕全家。厄拉為以色列王
So by the prophet Jehu son of Hanani the word of Yahweh came against Baasha and his family, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, like the family of Jeroboam, and also because he had killed all of Jeroboam's family.
8 猷大王阿撒二十六年，巴厄沙的兒子厄拉在提爾匝登極作以色列王，在位凡二年。
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah; he reigned two years.
9 他的臣僕，即率領他半數戰車的隊長，齊默黎結黨背叛了他。當他在提爾匝，他的家在阿爾匝家喝醉時，
His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now Elah was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.
10 齊默黎衝入，擊殺了他，篡奪了他的王位，時在猶大王阿撒二十七年。
Zimri went in, attacked him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king in his place.
11 齊默黎一登極，立刻屠殺了巴厄沙全家，沒有給他留下一個男子，連他的親屬朋友都殺了。
When Zimri began to reign and was seated on his throne, he killed all the family of Baasha. He did not leave alive a single male belonging to Baasha's relatives or friends.
12 齊默黎這樣毀滅了巴厄沙全家，應驗了上主藉先知耶胡斥責巴厄沙所說的話。
So Zimri destroyed all the family of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
13 這是因為巴厄沙和他的兒子厄拉所犯的一切罪，即引以色列陷於罪惡，因他們製造了虛無偶像，激怒了上主，以色列的天主。
for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son that they committed, and by which they had led Israel to sin, so that they provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their idols.
14 厄拉其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。齊默黎為以色列王
As for the other matters concerning Elah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
15 猶大王阿撒二十七年，齊默黎王提爾匝作王僅七天。當時人民正在圍攻培肋舍特人的基貝通，
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned only for seven days in Tirzah. Now the army was camped by Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
16 消息傳到營中說：齊默黎已經叛變，擊殺了君王，全以色列人當天即在營中，選立了軍長敖默黎作以色列王。
The army camped there heard it said, “Zimri has plotted and has killed the king.” So that day in the camp, all Israel declared Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel.
17 敖默黎和與他在一起的全以色列人，從基貝通上去圍攻提爾匝。
Omri went up from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
18 齊默黎一見城已失陷，即走進王宮的城堡，縱火焚燒王宮，自焚而死。
So when Zimri saw that the city had been taken, he went into the fortress attached to the king's palace and set fire to the building over him; in this way he died in the flames.
19 這是因為他所犯的罪惡，行了上主視為惡的事，走了雅洛貝罕的路，並以自己所犯的罪，使以色列陷於罪惡。
This was for the sins that he had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, by walking in the way of Jeroboam and in the sin that he had committed, so as to lead Israel to sin.
20 齊默黎其餘的事蹟，暗殺叛變的事，都記載在以色列列王實錄。
As for the other matters concerning Zimri, and the treason that he carried out, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
21 那時，以色列人民分裂為二：一半跟隨基納特的兒子提貝尼，要立他為王；一半跟隨敖默黎。
Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts. Half of the people followed Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.
22 跟隨敖默黎的人勝過了跟隨基納特的兒子提貝尼的人；提貝尼死後，敖默黎便作了王。敖默黎為以色列王
But the people who followed Omri were stronger than the people who followed Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died, and Omri became king.
23 猶大王阿撒三十一年，敖默黎登極作以色列王，在位凡十二年，其中六年在提爾匝。
Omri began to reign over Israel in the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years. He reigned from Tirzah for six years.
24 敖默黎用兩「塔冷通」銀子，由舍默爾手中買下了芍默龍山。他修建了這座山，依照山的原主舍默爾的名字，給他所建築的城起名叫「撒瑪黎雅。」
He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He built a city on the hill and called the name of the city Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the past owner of the hill.
25 敖默黎行了上主視為惡的事，甚至比他以前的人更為邪惡。
Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and acted more wickedly than all who had been before him.
26 事事仿效乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕所走的路，犯了更使以色列陷於罪惡的罪，又敬拜邪神偶像，激怒上主，以色列的天主。
For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins by which he led Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to be angry with their worthless idols.
27 敖默黎其餘的事蹟，他的作為和功蹟，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
As for the other matters concerning Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
28 敖默黎與列祖同眠，葬在撒瑪黎雅；他的兒子阿哈布繼位為王。阿哈布為以色列王
So Omri slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria and Ahab his son became king in his place.
29 猶大王阿撒三十八年，敖默黎的兒子阿哈布登極作以色列王。敖默黎的兒子阿哈布在撒瑪黎雅作以色列王，凡二十二年。
In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
30 敖默黎的兒子阿哈布行了上主視為惡的事，甚於他以前的人。
Ahab son of Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, more than all those who were before him.
31 他走了乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕犯罪的路，尚以為是小事，又娶了漆冬王厄特巴耳的女兒依則貝耳為妻，親自去服事敬拜巴耳，
It was to Ahab a trivial thing to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, so he took as his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; he went and worshiped Baal and bowed down to him.
32 在撒瑪黎雅為巴耳建築了一座廟宇，廟內為巴耳設立了一座祭壇。
He built an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
33 阿哈布又立了阿舍辣；阿哈布行事激怒上主，以色列的天主，尤甚於他以前的以色列王。
Ahab made an Asherah pole. Ahab did even more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who had been before him.
34 他在位的時候，貝特耳人希耳重建了耶里哥；奠基的時候，死了長子阿彼蘭；安門的時候，死了幼子色古布：這正應驗了上主藉農的兒子若蘇厄所說的話。
During Ahab's rule, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. Hiel laid the foundation of the city at the cost of the life of Abiram, his firstborn son; and Segub, his youngest son, lost his life while he was building the gates of the city, in keeping with the word of Yahweh which he spoke by Joshua son of Nun.
